Thursday - 11/1/2012, 5:00am EDT

(This list was last updated Thursday, Nov. 2 at 4:35 a.m.)

After four days of closures in the D.C. region, most federal agencies and
organizations that service federal employees have reopened. This list
will be continuously updated as Federal News Radio learns more.

OPERATING STATUS:

Federal government buildings in the D.C. area reopened Thursday and were operating under normal procedures, according
to the Office of Personnel Management.

In addition, federal agencies in the Baltimore area returned to business under normal procedures Thursday, according to the city's Federal Executive Board.

The New York City FEB recommends on Friday that non-essential personnel working for
agencies based in Lower-Manhattan not be required to report to work and that
offices should remain closed. Other agencies should consider offering
unscheduled/alternative leave where appropriate with each agency following its own
telework policy. Each agency is responsible for deciding on its own status and
passing that information along to its employees. The following New York City buildings are operating on emergency power and are open only to authorized personnel: 26 Federal Plaza, 290 Broadway, 201 Varick St., and 500 Pearl St. Power is expected to be restored by Saturday. The following buildings are offline and open only to authorized personnel: 233 Broadway and 1 Bowling Green. The General Services Administration will update employees at 1 Bowling Green of the building's operating status as information becomes available. No word is available yet from the
FEBs in Philadelphia and Boston.

The U.S. District Courts in Newark and Trenton, N.J., are closed through Friday, Nov. 2.

TRANSPORTATION SERVICES:

Amtrak Northeast Corridor (On Thursday, Amtrak finished pumping water from one of its tunnels under the Hudson River. Amtrak is currently taking reservations for modified service to and from New York and points south. This includes Philadelphia and Trenton. Amtrak will provide Northeast Regional and Acela Express modified service Friday, along the Northeast Corridor from Boston to Washington, D.C., via New York City. Passengers are encouraged to make reservations on their smartphones or computers using the eTicketing option. More detailed information is available online.)

BUILDINGS AND INSTALLATIONS:

Census Bureau (All Regional Offices open except for New York Regional Office, which
is still closed due to power outages.)
